The French Revolution

1. The peasants didnt like the fact that the nobles and the clergy payed no taxes and didnt believe believe the king cared about them.

2. The French peasants mainly complained about paying high taxes and being the only people that had to be in the military.

3. The cartoon is explaining that the peasant is holding the king and the noble on his back. Its stating the peasant has to support the kind and the nobles because with out them paying their taxes and being in the military.

4. Its just stating that the French man has to pay heavy taxes and give up a lot of livestock and grain. He said that the taxes are crushing them.

5. I say it does show why they resented the rich because the rich didn't pay taxes despite having way more money and some one with hand skills like a master carpenter got payed less than a typical priest.

6. The people that would be most influenced by a democratic form of government would be the U.S becuase after we got our freedom they were trying to find out what form of government to have and they came up with a democracy.

7. I think it was banned because it went against everything the French believed in and it was banned probably by the king because why would he not want absolute control over his people.
